Kokoro, LLC,
was created from the need of one woman in menopause and one man,
inspired and supportive. In 1996, this partnership began a
journey to discover natural, safe and effective solutions that
promote the health and well-being of women and men.
The word Kokoro comes from the Japanese and means heart-mind;
qualities of inner rest, peace, harmony, enlightenment and
serenity. Honoring these qualities in all we do at Kokoro, LLC,
our commitment is to provide products that you can always trust
and service that comes from the heart.
Time to graduate from a progesterone cream to a high-end
cosmetic moisturizing crème containing progesterone at levels
recommended by the nation's leading proponent of natural
progesterone? If so, then you will appreciate the care and
quality of Kokoro Women's Balance Crème.
Balance Crème has appeared on nationally known recommended lists
since 1996. These listings along with an unwavering commitment
to quality gives women a higher level of trust when choosing a
progesterone crème.
We are frequently asked what makes Balance Crème different from
others on the market. Consider the following:
Kokoro™ crèmes are non-ethoxylated. This current
state-of-the-art approach in crème formulation uses only an
all-natural vegetable emulsifier instead of the more common, and
less expensive, polyethylene glycol (PEG) stearates that you
will find in many other products.
Kokoro™ crèmes contain no surfactants, which are wetting
agents.
Kokoro™ crèmes meet vegan and vegetarian standards. Two
ingredients that vegans object to, hyaluronic acid and keratin,
are found in other products.
Kokoro™ products use a natural, full-spectrum preservative,
silver chloride, as opposed to methyl, butyl, or propyl-paraben
found in many products.
Kokoro™ crèmes are non-comedogenic - they won't clog skin pores.
Isopropyl mearistate contributes to blackheads and can be found
in many products. Kokoro™ crèmes can be used on the face
directly under make-up.
You will not find any "pixie dust" herbs or extracts added for
marketing appeal.
All ingredients in our crèmes are either plant or mineral
derived.
We use no animal products or by-products nor do we use any
petrochemical based ingredients.
Kokoro™ products are cruelty-free - we do not use any animal
testing.
Kokoro also manufactures the finest Men's Crème on the market.
One expert has recommended the use of natural progesterone by
any male over the age of 40. Formulated with the same care and
quality as Women's Balance Crème, Kokoro Men's Crème is the
choice of the discerning man.

MegaFood's Mission:
To educate on the Importance of Food in Nutrient Utilization. To
insure that all seekers of Nutritional Well Being have the
greatest opportunity for success.
The Importance of Food:
MegaFood honors the undisputable knowledge that food is the
essence of nutrition, well being and quality of life.
This is an exciting time in nutrient research and the important
role played by food in nutrient delivery.
That Quality food is essential for nutritional well being is
common sense.
Science has confirmed what common sense has always displayed.
A Quality Meal Versus a Supplement
We will not convey that MegaFood's supplements and nutrients are
better for you than eating a quality meal of colorful whole
foods. That we believe in whole food in its most perfect form is
an essential part of our mission. Eating a quality meal made
with quality whole food that has validated nutritive value is
the best plan for creating nutritional well being. When that
option is not available we would like you to turn to MegaFood
for your solutions to your nutritional challenges.

MICHAEL'S®
concern is to provide the consumer with the most synergistically
complete nutritional program at the lowest cost possible, while
still maintaining the highest quality product.
In today's world, each person according to their own particular
situation, requires a specific assortment of nutrients. Since
nutrients perform as catalysts and conductors, the absence of
any one could create a less than optimal situation for the
person concerned.
MICHAEL'S® "Synergistically Complete®" programs are constructed
with the understanding that certain nutrients must be present in
order for a nutritional program to be of value. Each product
must also be affordable for the consumer so as not to burden
people in their efforts to help themselves.
Michael guarantees all his products to be beneficial for the
consumer and the retailer, or their money back.

James worked in
conventional medicine for thirteen years.
After extensive research James left conventional medicine to
pursue herbs and other alternative medicines.
He has been associated with alternative healing for the past
nine years.
At Mountain Mist Botanicals we prepare our own formulas.
This enables us to keep our prices more reasonable by by-passing
manufacturers and private label companies.



Natural Factors has always had a reputation for quality, but
maintaining that reputation requires a great deal of diligence,
testing and investment in quality control. Even the finest
organic ingredients must be thoroughly tested to ensure they
meet Natural Factor’s exacting standards.
“Our Quality Control department and laboratory are involved in
every step of our product development, pre-production and
post-production testing. This is a crucial part of ensuring that
our customers receive only the purest, most effective and
reliable health products.” – Roland Gahler, President
Employing hundreds of people and growing every day, Natural
Factors’ head office and major production facilities are located
in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. We serve our American
customers from our U.S. Sales & Distribution Centre in Everett,
Washington.
At Factors Farms, in beautiful Kelowna, British Columbia we can
control the quality of our herbal products by organically
growing them ourselves. In the pristine Peace River Valley of
Alberta, Canada, Factors Farms also “grows” our own bee pollen.
This peaceful location ensures that our Bee Factors products
contain the purest pollen, free from dangerous pollutants.
“By taking our products right from nature, all the way to your
natural food store, we can keep Natural Factors’ quality control
standards in effect for every step of the manufacturing and
distribution process. Our aim is to harvest, create and
distribute the purest, most health-enhancing products in the
world.” – Roland Gahler, President

Nature's Answer
produces the finest all natural products available, including
alcohol free and low organic alcohol liquid extracts, micronized
encapsulated herbs, and vitamin, mineral and specialty
supplements. We are uniquely able to guarantee the quality of
all of our products, as we both manufacture and package the
items that we offer on the market.
In our continuing efforts to provide only the best, we are
constantly reviewing current and historical literature. We have
an extensive library of herbal and pharmaceutical literature
ranging from 150 year old dispensatories and pharmacopoeia to
the most recent pharmabotanical journals. We also house one of
the largest herbariums in the country. Our laboratories allow
Nature's Answer to constantly test, explore and update our
herbal lines.
Nature's Answer owns and operates North America's most extensive
pharmaceutically licensed herbal manufacturing & quality control
facilities. We are registered and are in compliance with all
herbal regulatory agencies. This voluntary compliance requires
adherence to Current Good Manufacturing Procedures as set forth
and monitored by Federal and State Food, Drug and Health
Authorities. In addition we are a certified kosher facility,
which increases the strict regulatory status that we are
required to uphold.
All the herbs we process are wildcrafted or organically grown
with minor exceptions. Whenever possible, we endeavor to use
wildcrafted herbs. Traditional practitioners and current
scientific assays both confirm the higher activity of herbs
grown wild in their natural environment. Having over 30 years
experience with our wildcrafters and herbal sources, we work to
ensure the long term protection of the plant species in the
wild. If there is any concern about a wildcrafted species we
turn to organically grown herbs. When using wildcrafted herbs,
we use the entire herb rather than isolate certain 'actives',
thus ensuring a more biologically balanced product, which we
refer to as Holistically Balanced. Our line of Standardized
Capsules are guaranteed to contain a specific percentage of
particular marker compounds, and are further enhanced by the
addition of Holistically Balanced whole herb.

A message from
the President of Nature’s Life:
Nothing is more important than your good health, a philosophy we
take to heart here at Nature’s Life. As co-founder of Nature’s
Life in 1970, I’ve seen the company grow and adapt to meet the
ever-changing needs of people and their health concerns.
We believe in making top quality products that are consistently
effective. We also believe in sharing our knowledge to create
better-informed consumers. Part of this sharing process is the
FULL disclosure of every ingredient in every product, and
informative publications supporting our claims.
Nature’s Life confidently stands behind all of our formulas. We
only use components with valid scientific evidence of their
health benefits, and we always ensure that our products are
made, and labeled, with your safety in mind. If we can’t
substantiate the health benefits of an ingredient with human
research, we don’t use it. "Fad" or "miracle" products that
bring high profits but no intrinsic value don’t qualify to bear
the Nature’s Life name. Everyone has the right to basic
nutrition and we make it affordable and beneficial.
The Best Before dates on the containers assure our customers
that our products are still 100% effective through that date. We
protect every bottle with two separate tamper-evident seals. We
DO NOT put the extraneous "cotton" padding inside. This padding
is used by many companies for "cosmetic" purposes only, to
muffle the rattling sound made by pills. However, we know that
this bleached stuffing is harmful to the environment and only
adds to the total cost of the product.
Our supplements are formulated by specialists in the health and
natural foods industry and backed by scientific research.
Nature’s Life only offers nutritional supplements and formulas
that are supported with valid, published peer reviewed research.
Customer Satisfaction: Our #1 Priority
All products backed by valid scientific research.
Highest safety standards in testing and packaging.
All products contain only the finest quality ingredients
available.
Responsible documentation of all feature and benefit claims
"Best Before" dates to ensure freshness and potency.
Certified A "Excellent" by the National Nutritional Foods
Association's (NNFA) Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs)
Program.
100% Satisfaction Guarantee:
100% Potency

Energy is the
life force that fuels all aspects of physical, mental and
emotional well-being. Cultivating and maintaining this energy is
the difference between merely existing day to day and living
each minute of every day with a renewed sense of vigor and
vitality. Welcome to the Nature's Plus Health Center, your
on-line source for education, advice and product information.
Energy and an enhanced quality of life are what the consumer is
seeking in the natural vitamin market. Only a supplement made
with the highest quality ingredients and the highest standards
of manufacturing can offer consumers the energy-releasing
results they demand. Nature's Plus supplements are also known as
The Energy Supplements because the standards of excellence
practiced by the Nature’s Plus family result in products that
are unsurpassed in their ability to release natural energy and
provide the ultimate feeling of well-being.
New research in the area of nutrition continuously confirms that
vitamins and nutritional supplements play a major role in
preventing disease and improving quality of life. As a result,
many unknown brands and products are flooding the shelves of
health food stores and the mass market, leaving consumers with
many choices. Nature’s Plus is dedicated to providing the
education necessary for the consumer to make intelligent
choices. All natural vitamins are not alike. It is critical that
the consumer have a means of distinguishing between low quality,
ineffective brands and quality formulations that are essential
for increased energy and well-being.
Nature’s Plus believes that the health food store, together with
the nutrition community, is the consumer's only means of
education and quality selection of nutritional supplements.
Therefore, over the past three decades, we have steadfastly
maintained our loyalty and commitment to the health food
community.

In total, Nature’s Way
provides over 350 products, including single herbs and herbal formulas,
standardized herbal extracts, clinically proven phytomedicines, vitamins,
minerals, probiotics, homeopathy, specialty formulas and all-natural
over-the-counter medicines (OTCs). Operating from a 250,000 square-foot,
pharmaceutical licensed manufacturing facility, we produce the world’s highest
quality natural healthcare supplements. In addition, we actively support
worldwide environmental programs, use recycled packaging materials and sponsor
alternative healthcare education.
Nature's Way® natural healthcare products are made with the
highest quality of ingredients. Our products are available in finer health and
nutrition stores nationwide. If at any time you are not satisfied with a
Nature's Way® product, you may return it to Stay Healthy! for a
refund or replacement. Just return the unused portion of the product to the
store, along with a sales receipt. If you need further assistance, please
contact our Nature's Way® Customer Service Department toll-free at

Welcome to a
"New Chapter" in natural food supplements.
We are a small company owned by families and friends, and are
based in Brattleboro, Vermont and on our organic estate near the
Children's Rain Forest of Costa Rica. Since 1983, our mission,
our passionate commitment, has been producing the finest food
supplements and herbal formulations in the world. We are not
interested in producing merely "good" products-there are lots of
those already. Instead, our purpose is to create the finest
products that are truly natural, made of 100% real food and
herbs. We have never made products with chemical isolates or
solvents, and we won't. We culture all of our vitamins and
minerals, and we always will. They are not synthetic-they are
food.
We are committed to supporting and protecting the environment,
and our Costa Rican farm is a model of what organic farming can
and should be. We vigorously embrace science, but only as it is
consistent with the genius of traditional medicine and the use
of the highest quality whole foods to support health.
We have carefully made each New Chapter product for the personal
use of our families and our dear friends. As we approach our
18th anniversary, and now that we are sold worldwide in
thousands of retail venues, we are deeply pleased that so many
people seeking truly "natural" health solutions have joined our
"New Chapter" family.
We promise to always "Deliver the Wisdom of Nature," and may
that wisdom deliver you to perfect health.


I wish every
health store owner could see first hand the changes taking place
at NOW Foods.
Our July, 2000 certifications as an A-rated GMP (Good
Manufacturing Practices) facility by NNFA is an important
component of our continuing mission to set new standards of
excellence in our procedures, ensuring each of our products is
the highest quality available. Our organic certification by
Quality Assurance International (QAI) actually guarantees lot
separation, identification and purity.
We have also assembled one of the finest quality teams of
industry experts and invested in state-of- the-art laboratory
equipment, allowing us to perform specialized tests, analyses
and inspections. The net result is a superior product that
surpasses every possible independent test.
In fact, our standards of excellence are expanding the
boundaries of quality industry-wide. Our new microbiology lab
makes it possible for us to perform-in-house analytical testing,
giving us more control over incoming raw materials. We are also
developing peer reviewed methods and providing chairmanship for
the development of analytical methods for grape seed extract and
chondroitin. Additionally, NOW sponsored the international
gerontology conference in support of the free radical theory of
aging and provides leadership in the efforts to identify
genetically modified crops and provide GMO free replacements.
As president of NOW foods, I would like to assure you that
although our facilities and procedures are cutting-edge, our
time-honored promise to you remains the same as it has been for
over 40 years - to make quality affordable.
Indeed, underlying NOW's commitment to quality is our commitment
to you - to provide the best products available at a reasonable
price and, thereby, play a meaningful role in the quality and
extension of human life.
In good health,
Elwood Richard
President

Paradise Herbs, Inc. and Paradise
Essentials nutraceutical line is a rapidly expanding company
dedicated to bringing you the finest quality herbal and
nutraceutical products available, at a value without compromise.
In just over seven years, we have successfully established a
reputation in the natural products industry for unsurpassed
quality, purity and potency standards. We believe it’s not just
about having the finest quality ingredients, but it’s about
going the “extra mile” to achieve what we don’t use in our
products.

Although Pure
Essence is but seven years old, our owners have been designing
supplements for over 25 years each. They created the world’s
first “food-based” supplements, the world’s first “green food”
complexes, the world’s first line of digestive enzymes, the
world’s first therapeutic enzyme products, and so on.
So, even if you’ve never used a Pure Essence product, you’ve
used something they created for another company, or something
their creations inspired.
Now, they’ve created the world’s first truly holistic
supplements.
Supplements that not only support health, but actually build it.
What does this mean? That you’ll feel better, stronger, more
energetic and more alive with our products than with any other
supplements on Earth.

Solgar meets
the demands of a growing, health-conscious public with an
expanding line of quality, nutritional and dietary supplements.
Solgar is one of the few nutritional supplement companies that
makes its own products. We manufacture our products in small
batches for freshness and according to our own strict standards
- standards that, in many cases, are much more stringent than
the government requires.
Throughout the manufacturing process, rigorous tests are
performed on everything from the raw materials to the finished
products for potency, purity, uniformity, disintegration and
dissolution. We strive to eliminate as many allergens from our
formulas as possible. Almost all Solgar products are free from
sugar, salt, starch, corn, yeast, wheat, soy, gluten and dairy
products and contain no preservatives, artificial flavors or
colors. In addition, we use recyclable, amber-glass bottles to
maintain the potency of our nutrients.

Since 1968 Trace Minerals
Research has been dedicated to combating the growing problem of
mineral deficiency and imbalance in our modern society. By
harvesting the health-promoting, ionic minerals found in the
Great Salt Lake and making them available to the general public,
we are committed to being the immutable source for the minerals
necessary to maintain proper health.
Today Trace Minerals Research offers over 80 different
health-promoting products that contain the ionic mineral mixture
ConcenTrace® produced from the waters of the Great Salt Lake.
And over the years, thousands of people who lacked essential
trace elements in their diets have felt the difference
replenishing these vital nutrients can make. Perhaps it's time
you did, too.

In 1973 James Beck founded Solaray
Corporation (manufacturer of nutritional supplements) in the
basement of his home with a $20,000.00 loan. He grew it to a
$25,000,000.00 company before selling it in 1993. Solaray
pioneered many innovative developments in the nutritional
supplement industry. It was the first company to provide a line
of herbal and vitamin supplements in fast acting, easy to
swallow two-piece capsules. This practice has now become the
benchmark for premium brands. It was one of the first companies
to introduce standardized herbal supplements into this country.
Household names like Ginkgo Biloba extract and Saw Palmetto
extract were unknown at the time. Solaray prepared formulas
containing combinations of ingredients targeting specific health
conditions and needs when other companies were only selling
single ingredient products.
James Beck wrote the first draft of the “Health Freedom Act”,
which was eventually modified and introduced as a bill into
congress by Senator Orrin Hatch and ultimately passed into
legislation in 1994 as the “Dietary Supplement and Health
Education Act’ (DSHEA). This legislation has become the standard
for nutritional supplement regulation. James Beck was
responsible for much of the financial and legislative efforts
that ultimately resulted in the passage of this landmark
legislation. If it were not for the passage of this legislation
the freedom we enjoy today to purchase most of the more advanced
herbal and nutritional supplements would have been lost
In 1993 James Beck founded a small phytotechnology research
company, JLB, Inc. JLB discovered the active ingredients in
plants that prevent the adhesion of bacteria to the surface of
living tissue. There are many potential medical and nutritional
applications for this technology: for example, it can be used to
help prevent urinary tract infection by preventing E-coli from
attaching to the epithelial cells of the bladder. JLB has been
issued four U.S. patents and forty-four counterpart foreign
patents and patent applications in this field of technology.
James Beck is currently the owner and President of Mountain View
Labs, LLC, makers of the TriElements brand of nutritional
supplements. This company was established in the summer of 2005
and is dedicated to servicing customers with the best
nutritional supplements that nature and science have to offer.
